I was retired, for Christ’s sake. You think it’s easy? Picking up a weapon and running along miracles and mutants? It’s not. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. A God used me. To do terrible things. Just like Kilgrave used you. I spent weeks in the Raft, thinking about what I did and why I did it. Trust me, I know everything about accountability.

do you know what i love about malcolm? he wasn’t a prop. he wasn’t the poc comic relief character. he wasn’t scene dressing, he wasn’t “authentic new york drug addict,” copied and pasted onto the scene. he wasn’t a prop, he was jessica’s friend. he was the photographer. he was a victim. he was a survivor. he was a hero. jessica saved him, and he saved her back.
I don’t want powers. I mean, I do not want to be on the receiving end of them either, but… I don’t know, I just- I like people too much.
So what, it’s just every man for himself, then, huh? Everything I learned in church, all the praying that my mom did for the sick and the dying, all the community projects my dad worked on, basically, everything that they taught me… it was all bullshit? They’re idiots and I’m just the only asshole in the world who didn’t know?
